Helsenhorn, Alpine summit in Valais, Switzerland
The Helsenhorn rises to an elevation of 3,272 meters, forming part of the Monte Leone massif within the Lepontine Alps range.
Johann Jakob Weilenmann completed the first recorded solo ascent of the Helsenhorn in August 1863, marking a significant mountaineering achievement.
The mountain stands at the intersection of Swiss and Italian territories, representing a natural boundary between these two Alpine nations.
Mountaineers can access the Helsenhorn through multiple routes, with the Rifugio Arona at 1,758 meters providing shelter during expeditions.
The Helsengletscher glacier adorns the western face of the mountain, while the eastern side features a steep wall overlooking Kriegalp Pass.
